See below for answers to some frequently asked questions
We are very proud of our surgery and staff and although we try to do a good job we are always looking at ways to improve our service to our patients.
We have a patient participation group so that you can make suggestions about the way we deliver services to our patients. We would like a wide range of our patients to take part so that the views are representative of the local population.
We would like to email/post to you from time to time to ask your views on questions like opening hours, what other services might be helpful for the surgery to offer or even what you think about the car park and keeping you informed about PPG meetings, minutes etc.
